This week on PGPB Guru, we featured how to transition to solid foods with Baby Led Weaning; a fun Frozen-themed science activity: Melt a Frozen Heart; our commiseration with moms everywhere in 9 Reasons Moms are the Worst Drivers; a Montessori-inspired animal matching game; everything you need to know about College Savings Plans on Financially Saavy Friday; and one final celebration of Valentine's Day: Learning with Conversation Hearts.

Transitions: Baby Led Weaning
By about 8 months old, Big M was increasingly interested in feeding herself, and since I always included her at the table for mealtimes, I just began to feed her ‘real’ food from my own plate, quickly abandoning baby food all together. By the time Lil’ M came along, I had discovered a name for this methodology: Baby Led Weaning. Learn what it is, why you should try it, and how to start! Read more>>>

9 Reasons Moms are the Worst Drivers
I know I am at risk of offending all my fellow mom out there – but if I am honest with myself and all of you, I have to confess, I am a much worse driver today than I ever was before I had kids.

Melt a Frozen Heart
We still have the Frozen soundtrack on repeat in the car, so anything Frozen related is still a big hit. I found these great heart sequins in the Dollar Spot at Target last week, and the next day saw this amazing post from Totschooling: Thawing a Frozen Heart, and thought we should try it too! Big M loved trying to melt her Frozen heart, and even Lil’ M enjoyed playing with the shiny ice cubes! Read more>>>

Montessori Animal Match
When Big M was about 18 months old, we went to a trial Montessori playgroup with a few of our friends. All the kids enjoyed themselves, and the minimalist, open-ended toys and play ideas were great. One of her favorites was this great animal matching game. Read more>>>

Learning with Conversation Hearts
How many conversation hearts did your child get in their Valentine box this week? Instead of consuming all those little sugar bombs, you can make a great learning experience with them. Big M has enjoyed two great activities this month using two different types of candy hearts: Graphing with Sweethearts and Mapping the Alphabet with Brach’s Alphabet Hearts. Read more>>>
